Northrop Grumman is providing dozens of Link 16 A-kits for installation aboard UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper helicopters.
Work on the $10.54 million contract modification from US Naval Air Systems Command is scheduled for completion by March 2024.
‘This modification adds scope to procure 55 Link 16 A-kits, to include 26 each for AH-1Z and UH-1Y production aircraft; two spares for AH-1Z aircraft; and one spare for UH-1Y aircraft, as well as one A-kit test stand for the Navy,’ the DoD announced on 25 January.
